Before half term, Shay and I went to Trythall School with Lizzie and Alessandra, to start the work with the school children. We worked with the children on their project, where they were doing about their local area, geography, and maps. I spent a bit of time talking to some of the students about what the school and the work and they were telling me that most of them lived in small hamlets in the countryside around the school, and the school itself is so small that it only has room for two classes, infants and juniors. I didn't understand how this worked, as it meant that the year 4 children and the year 6 children would be learning the same thing. It was interesting to see the school and work the the children as my best friend from school had been there, and the idea of such a small school had always puzzled me. The work was focused on Bodrifty Roundhouse, since it is a landmark on the Tinner's Way, and it is close to the school.
